Why we shouldn’t give the Super Bowl the time of day

The Super Bowl is great for a lot of reasons. You can get a big group of your mates together and everyone has a laugh watching it, and it’s generally one of the better sporting events of the year. However, as with anything it has some serious flaws that make you want to throw things at the TV throughout the four or five hours that it takes place.

Whether or not the pros outweigh the cons is a matter of opinion, but it’s certainly one of the most divisive occasions on the calendar every year. Whether you hate American football or you don’t, the likelihood is that you’ve watched a couple minutes of it here or there – and if you haven’t, you literally must’ve been living under a rock for a long time now.

Half-time viewership

On average, more people across the United States tune in to watch the half-time show than they do to watch the actual Super Bowl itself. A small part of us died upon hearing that.

End of the season

Ticket prices

The ticket prices for the Super Bowl leave us all frantically googling "how can we become the Wolf of Wall Street from our sofas".

With that little rant over, it’s time to continually moan and be depressed over the fact that we won’t be witnessing any more NFL action for quite a while. We’ve got the draft coming up, but that doesn’t mend the whole that this beloved league has left in our hearts. Why must you do this to us, Roger Goodell? Oh well, we’ll just continue to point out the flaws of the biggest game of the year instead.
